Charlie Daniels: Congress, We Did Not Send You to DC to Be Republicans or Democrats

America is worn out with the U.S. Congress, disgusted, and the disgust is beginning to turn to contempt as they flounder around like fish out of water, pointing fingers and trying to fix the blame on the opposing party.
The truth is that they’re all to blame. In fact, they’re all guilty of putting their own selfish political interests ahead of the people who elected them, pay their salaries, their benefits, and provide the opportunity for the golden parachutes they use to bail themselves out with when they leave office.

If you want to get down to the truth of the matter, these people are not patriots, at least not to the United States of America. They are patriotic to their political parties, their ideology, their own greed and thirst for power.

Trump May Yet Become a Terrific President

We're six months into the Trump presidency and it's worth asking: When you eliminate the febrile fantasies of the left (sometimes called "journalism" or "the news" by people who work in "journalism" or "the news") and when you tune out the grave harumphs of the intellectual He's-Not-Quite-The-Thing right wing, and when you ignore too the lovestruck dreamy-dreams of the Trump Right or Wrong Fan Club, what are we left with?
In fact, it seems to me — a reluctant Trump voter — President The Donald has done a pretty darn good job so far. Rough-hewn, inexperienced and sometimes too much of a loudmouth for his own and the country's good, he has nonetheless managed to increase American freedom and productivity while dragging us back from the brink of the Moribund European Socialist Please-Kill-Us-Mohammed anti-Western vision of the last guy who held the office.
There's the great Supreme Court pick, of course. Plus he's eliminated sixteen old federal regulations for every new one put in place. He's made American foreign policy sane again by re-aligning us with Israel and pulling out of the nonsense Paris climate accord. You can talk about the non-wall all you like, but the drop in illegal border crossings under this president is, according to the head of the National Border Patrol union, "nothing short of miraculous." Stock market's up. Unemployment's down. Housing sales are up. ISIS is down. Oh, and Trump's brutal thrashing of our utterly corrupt and dishonest news media has been a joy to behold.
